Chapter 61
"Bravo!!!"
*Twilight* is a qualified popcorn movie, with youth and fantasy, deeply loved by teenagers.
The audience at the scene gave applause, it seems that the box office sale is no problem.
It's just that after the premiere, Xu Can faintly heard the audience complaining.
"It's good-looking, but the male and female leads have no cp feeling, always feel strange."
"Still have to be Spider-Man, others and Gwen don't match at all."
Male lead Robert Pattinson is also very embarrassed.
When filming, there was no kissing scene, and any ambiguous intimate physical contact could not be carried out. Two people acting as lovers were more strange than brothers and sisters.
Can't act out cp feeling at all!
The creative team doesn't care about these, as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter if the reputation is bad.
A group of people marched towards the nearby Beverly Hills Hotel banquet hall to start the celebration party.
Xu Can met Taylor here at that time.
"Xu, the director and the others called me over, you are looking for someone to pull a loan investment, so you don't have to worry about me."
Emma knows Xu Can's recent difficulties and thoughtfully lets him act alone.
The two kissed on the cheek and went to get busy with their own social interactions.
"Look, that's producer Marty Marty Bowen, let's try..."
Happy and Xu Can stepped forward to integrate into a group of successful white men, smoking cigars and holding bourbon, talking about the current economic situation and current political news in North America.
After chatting for a while, Xu Can felt bored.
They bragged to the sky, and couldn't talk about any practical things.
After circling in different groups, Xu Can came to the bar alone again, ordered a glass of bourbon with ice.
Still filming is comfortable, Hollywood social interaction is too troublesome.
Just as he was drinking and flirting with Taylor online, a graceful blonde woman sat down next to him.
She is about 20-something and under 30, in a low-key and luxurious evening dress, only experts can see its value.
The jewelry on her body, seemingly ordinary, is actually an astronomical figure.
Unlike ordinary rich women, this woman clearly has a noble spirit, and is a daughter of a big consortium.
"How come I feel you look a bit familiar?"
"Mr. Xu, your pickup line is too old-fashioned." The blonde woman smiled lightly.
"Seriously, I really feel you look familiar... you shouldn't be surnamed Trump, right?"
"That's right, my name is Ivanka, nice to meet you, Mr. Spider-Man."
Wait, Ivanka?
Xu Can never imagined he would meet this woman today.
Perhaps she is just the daughter of a businessman right now,
but 10 years from now, her father Donald will be a man frequently appearing on television news, and a figure in major political affairs.
Even if Donald looks like a clown, his influence in North America is undeniable.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Can was very curious.
Her father Donald used to dabble in Hollywood, even playing quite a few roles, so it was normal for her to be in the Hollywood circle.
Ivanka should have just graduated at this time.
"I'm managing this hotel."
Facing the slightly intrusive question, Ivanka still smiled elegantly.
"On the other hand, Mr. Xu, *Twilight* is a competitor to your movie; your presence here also surprises me a little."
"I'm here accompanying Emma."
"I see."
Ivanka sat at the bar, turning slightly to look at Emma Stone, who was chatting and laughing in the distance.
"Are you two really dating?" she asked, curious.
"I can only say we are good friends," Xu Can replied truthfully.
"A bit of a pity, Spider-Man and Gwen didn't end up together."
"A wealthy heiress likes to ship couples too?" Xu Can smiled playfully.
"I am also an ordinary woman, so naturally, I like romantic stories. I am a reader of the original *Twilight* book, and I also have some investment in the movie."
Ivanka picked up her wine glass and took a light sip.
"Then do you like comics?"
Xu Can keenly realized that the wealthy heiress in front of him was the very financier he had been seeking for so long.
Even if she didn't invest, once they were familiar, it shouldn't be hard to ask her to help introduce a loan.
"I quite like them, I really like Spider-Man. I've watched your movie twice."
"Oh? And what do you think? Feel free to offer suggestions; we'll try our best to correct any shortcomings in the sequel."
"Let me think..."
Ivanka didn't have the airs of a wealthy princess; instead, she was thinking about the movie very seriously.
She asked many strange and curious questions,
such as how he could see clearly while wearing the Spider-Man mask, what he would do if he needed to use the restroom while wearing the bodysuit, and whether Spider-Man would join the Avengers...
Starting with Spider-Man, the two chatted for a long time about American comics, and then moved on to current Hollywood movies.
After getting familiar, Xu Can discovered that inside the seemingly dignified heiress lived a little girl as well.
It wasn't until Emma Stone called out to Xu Can that he stood up to take his leave.
"Ivanka, it was a pleasure meeting you; today's chat was very enjoyable."
"Same here. Meeting a star I like can be considered fulfilling a wish."
The two shook hands; Ivanka's hand was quite slender, her skin fair and tender, and a little cool to the touch.
"By the way, let's add each other on Facebook."
"Sure," Ivanka readily agreed.
Xu Can felt a bit more settled; it seemed his initial plan had been achieved. All the other producers and investors at the scene combined probably didn't compare to knowing this heiress.
Everything continued as usual; Galaxy Entertainment's business was booming and developing rapidly.
Taylor Swift's new album *Fearless* was officially released!
Her debut album *Taylor Swift* had achieved 3.9 million in sales, setting an astonishing record in the industry, and she was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist.
With Xu Can's help, her second album this year appeared ahead of schedule, debuting at number one on the North American Billboard charts in its first week!
The hit single "Love Story" debuted at number 23 on the Billboard charts!
Multiple songs from the album broke into the top 100!
Less than a week after its release, *Fearless* had already sold over 1 million copies! It was expected to surpass 5 million!
Previously, she was just a "country singer" with a small reputation in the industry, but now she had spread her wings and was about to take flight!
"Xu, the company says they want to organize a concert tour for me. Can I really do it?"
With the new album's great success, Taylor thought she would finally have time for a vacation.
Instead, the company planned to strike while the iron was hot and organize a nationwide concert tour for her!
For most singers, album sales basically don't make money. Concerts and commercial endorsements are the main sources of income.
As a company spanning both film and music, Galaxy Entertainment naturally couldn't walk on only one leg.
The music department also needed to create value.
If the first round of the concert tour was completed, it could earn Xu Can quite a lot.
"That's not important. What's important is, do you want to do it in your heart?"
Xu Can's tone was as gentle as possible.
As a boss, he naturally wanted to squeeze the maximum commercial value out of Taylor, just like her previous Big Machine Records boss.
But as her good friend and potential romantic interest, Xu Can felt quite sorry for this young girl.
